Description
Article (Oct 1, 1857) reports that the Mechanics and Farmers' and Citizens' Banks in Williamsburg, N.Y. have suspended. No mention of a prior run or of reopening; placed during the Panic of 1857, so classified as suspension leading to closure. Bank type not specified in text. I corrected city to Williamsburg (a section of Brooklyn) and rendered the bank name as Citizens' Bank matching 19th-century usage.
